Note on build for 2020: please understand in the world today, as a builder and restorer of classic Mustangs, see that the parts chain supply stream is either cut off or very limited supply, then when we get our needed restoration parts, the costing is very much higher than in 2019, the value of the build costing of these quality Mustangs is climbing higher for sure, also, having been in business for many years, Fraser Dante has a large stock of needed parts for these cars that cover most of our needs, we run a professional shop with full time staff along with expert subs that have worked with us for years, in short, the values are climbing,

Engine: here is a great, proper, rebuilt and strong 289cid engine, born as a 2V being a ‘C’ code, now this is uprated to ‘A’ code specs just like the GT, the below listed numbers show that this should be the original engine block to the car, this has the proper 4v carburetor and Ford intake set up, then built with the full dual exhaust system through the rear valence just like a GT, this now is the at least 225 horsepower rating today, really just like the factory built these ‘A’ code cars, this rebuilt engine has very strong compression that is 153-163 psi in a dry cold reading that is even better than original factory (SEE LINK), these readings are better than factory stock, this has the correct casting of the engine of a C5AE-6015-E and the date code of 5.l.17 (SEE LINK), both the heads are correct #289 and have been rebuilt, one is a 1965 unit and the other the replacement 1966 unit although both are factory the same, these show the obvious rebuilding, set up with the Ford intake and the Ford 4v Motorcraft carburetor, this runs just great, note the MCA approved chrome dress up kit, even has the added hi-po air cleaner element, has the upgraded Mustang 3 row radiator with fresh hoses and clamps, a factory fan shroud 6 blade flex fan, great cooling, one can tell great effort was put into the build, it shows very factory correct and really show ready with the GT dress up kit,
